Post History

(NaturalNews) Over one year ago, the federal government granted immunity to CDC whistleblower, Dr. William Thompson. Thompson was a senior epidemiologist for the CDC who co-authored and published research on the MMR vaccine back in 2004. In the summer of 2014, Thompson came forward and revealed data linking the MMR vaccine to autism – data that had previously been concealed by the agency.

In 2014, Natural Newsfeatured a letter from Dr. Thompson to the then-director of the CDC, Dr. Julie Gerberding, dated February 2004. In the letter, he expressed his concerns about how the CDC was concealing information linking the MMR vaccine to autism. Dr. Gerberding is no longer director of the CDC; she now holds the position of executive vice president for the pharmaceutical giant Merck. Surely, no conflict of interest there, even though Merck is the sole manufacturer of the MMR vaccine.
